    So as the year winds to an end, what has been your favorite airgun this year?
 Favorite moments with any air gun this year.

 So my favorite gun has been the 1322.
 Yep not the tx or sig. It is  light, accurate to 20m, easy modification small enough to not be issue carrying around.
 Gets used daily and has the highest  kill rate of any of my guns, being it only pest birds. But its doing an awsome job. I use it daily. 
 Favorite moment was how well the pic of the hare I shot with tx200 at 55m came out.( pic in you got to be out there to see) Was a beautiful evening and perfect lighting. Closely followed by the 5 mynas with 1322 in two days after months of never getting near them. 
 Hope you all had a great Xmas and have a great new year.

	Rule 1 was no new rifles this year. (gun safes are full) Rule 2 have fun with what I already had on hand. I struggle to steady when shooting from a standing position. Plan was for a lightweight and short combo which I could hold in close to the body. Project Carbine - Crosman 2250B Power - CO2 Breech - Exclusive Multi-Shot Trigger - Sear cleaned up and new spring Scope Tasco 4x32 AO Performance - 7.02 ft/lb Pellet - Sig Air Venom 0.94g Accuracy - very good out to 25 yards. (tack driver) Absolute pleasure to shoot and good enough to take along to club target competitions. cheers Edited by mercs - 31 Dec 2022 at 6:43pm

	I came close to getting one of those breeches too Mercs. Very nice setup there. The Crosmans are certainly popular. My fav gun is my rabbit pcp. It gives me great joy to shoot, and I just love the way I can depend on it.

	That's a sweet looking pistol mercs. Interested in the multi shot breech got a link? (might temp me into a CO2) You have an bond with CR600 billbob. Seems to have served you well, and mods you've done to it only seemed to improve it. Still think be awsome steam punk gun with more brass and couple of industrial looking no purpose cogs thrown on it Glad you like your rabbiting gun pauly5, cause I sure like watching the videos of you shooting with it. Watched latest yesterday envious. Was expecting a few gamo,bsa and other large volume guns to pop up on this thread. There's a lot of ppl who have great results with them, and swear by them.

	yes. I'd be totally stoked with that. Not only as it's an hidious native killer but as you say they are the hardest thing ever to stalk, get a bead on, and can dissappear into nothing. Hat off to you, nice shooting

	Lucky? If you pulled off a snap shot on such a sneaky, lopped run, low to the ground, narrow critter in the couple of seconds it stopped, that's skill, good shooting, a good eye what ever you want to call it, but not luck.
